Name: Emily Newars
Age: 32
Gender: Female
Culture: Neo-Victorian:High
Background: Doctor
Ship: HMS Invincible
Appearance: Short, two-inch long raven-black hair, bright blue eyes,a face some would call pretty except for the permanent bags under her eyes and a nose broken multiple times, she stands around 5 and a half feet, and is surprisingly strong for her size, made from years of holding down unwilling amputees, delirious patients and the like.
She normally dresses in the best clothes her family fortune can afford, be they pants, dresses, blouses, or skin tight leather, it changes daily.
Personality: A bit abrasive because she prefers not to get personal with her potential patients, but she does care. Her personal qualms with airships aside, she's friendly enough to the Captain and anyone over basic ship rank. Those of the lower class are either not spoken to, or they're treated second to higher ranks, if there are any. An occasional imbiber of laudanum, she keeps a case of it for every voyage for personal use.
Biography: Emily is the sole heir to the Newars family fortune, originally fourth in line and youngest, her brothers each died, one from a standard factory inspection accident, two from IAN duty, and one from natural causes as a child. Her parents both died a few years ago from old age. She started life always wanting to be a doctor,growing up in Old Borealis, she started as a child cutting open toads that happened upon their estate, moving up to factory workers and Misbegottens as she got older. Her tutors called her a protegee, and she took them to heart. Her family sent her off to the university, where she continued her studies, working and becoming a more experienced doctor through field work and classes.
She graduated and was accepted into the IAN, and although she hates flying, she finds the airship navy to be most exhilarating and most challenging of posts. The limited supplies, the various diseases that can strike at any time, the pirates, illegal slavers, the Skycities, while not a big reason she continues her craft is a valuable source of information. While she sees few Skycity docs, the ones she has met are some of the better ones she has found. In able to cope with her fear of flying, she has found one outlet, her laudanum, of which she stocks up on a case of twenty four bottles per voyage, each holding around four liters, she has around a cup every few hours. While not yet an addiction, it is close, and she sees no point in stopping anytime soon.
Her posting on the HMS Invincible is recent and as such, she doesn't know the ship or crew as well as most.
Notes: She has a set of doctor's tools hand-crafted she was given upon her graduation from medical school in addition to the ones given her from the IAN, she keeps these in a box for surgeries or procedures requiring more precision.
She knows how to handle herself in a fight, but sticks to brawling mostly simply because it limits the amount of work she might have to do later on, but she does keep a long bladed knife, razor-sharp, on her leg, reaching from her waist to around her knee. This she keeps for any time she actually needs a scalpel, but the situation doesn't allow her to run for her quarters. It also is good practice she's learned to keep any sort of knife on hand on board a ship, never know when an uncut line could spell doom for the crew.
